I have learned the hard to resurface the flywheel, I had the same thing with my 53 Victoria, also make sure the throw out  bearing is installed the whole way into the holder, had that also.

Or, the flywheel needs to be surfaced

You made no mention of the pilot bearing/bushing  in the end of the crankshaft if it has excessive wear you will get some chatter 

Hey guys, I don't post much here but I have a dilemma.

I have a 1955 Ford 292/3 speed on the column. When I bought the car, the pedal travel was ll the way at the top of the stroke and I thought it just needed a new disc. I bought a disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing. When I pulled it apart, I noticed the grease was all over the inside of the bellhousing. The throwout bearing was dry and rattling. I inspected the flywheel and it was smooth and free from hot spots or grooves etc. The PP has some pretty harsh grooves so, I though I had found the reason they had it adjusted out so far.

So I change the said parts and now it chatters like a big dog. It had a very slight chatter before, but man it is really pronounced now.

I have had a few suggestions over on the hamb and I have checked them out. Nothing glaring that I see.

Today I went out and tried to slip the clutch a bit to "burn it in" from the advice of the local clutch rebuilder shop. During this process, I noticed if I set the parking brake and slip the clutch it doesn't chatter. So, could the problem be excessive lash or clearance in the rear end? I was hoping to drive this to Texas next weekend, so here I am , hat in hand, asking for help.

Thanks,
